"No SDK found at specified location" error in Monodevelop

I installed Mac OS X version 10.8.2.

After that, I either installed Monodevelop first or XCode first. But when I got this error, I deleted both. Then, installed XCode 4.5.2 and then installed MonoDevelop again, but it was using an older SDK.

So I copied the iPhoneOS6.0.sdk from the 

  Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/

folder and put it into a separate folder on my machine 

  /SDKs/

Then I set the path in MonoDevelop to use the SDK as found in /SDKs folder. But I am still getting this error- 

"No SDK found at specified location"

This is very frustrating. What am I doing wrong?

First do not copy files/directory around. Mostly because this is not needed but also because you might break your installation(s) and get hard to diagnose bugs.

MonoDevelop's Apple SDK location (in the preferences) must point to the Xcode.app, which by default, is /Applications/Xcode.app (that's where MonoDevelop will look for if nothing is specified).

You can point it elsewhere, e.g. /Volumes/Xcode/XcodeXX-DPX.app if you want to mount a disk image with a specific version of Xcode.

Notes:

  • when MonoDevelop finds what's it's looking for then you'll get a green checkmark (so you know it's properly configured);

  • you might have to run Xcode first so it will install it's command-line tools and device support libraries. Without them it's possible the the builds/installation will fail (but with a different error message than the one you mentioned)

None of this should be required. MonoDevelop should automatically find the SDK.

  • Try leaving the SDK location empty so MD will say "using default location".
  • If you want to point it to a specific SDK, let it point to the Xcode.app file. An app file is nothing but a folder. MonoDevelop will find the SDK in there. No need to copy anything.
